Premature bladder jump

The fetal membranes of the amniotic sac usually break only during the birth. The fetus water flows in a flood or trickles out slowly, depending on the rip is as great and how the fetus lies. The amniotic sac often bursts although the os uteri isn't opened completely yet. This generally leads to an acceleration of the birth. The artificial amniotomy, the opening of the amniotic sac by a small painless incision (for example by a glove with counter-heels), is carried out therefore also to the reinforcement of weak labors.

If no labors follow after a bladder jump around the birth appointment, the birth is often induced artificially. The child should come onto the world within the next 24 hours since it lies in the womb unprotectedly now in front of shoots. A premature bladder jump, birth appointment calculated in front of this this means for a long time, is a medical emergency. The pregnant woman shouldn't run around and lie down any more. A delivery to the clinic is important.

The fetus doesn't lie in the pelvis deeply yet and fetus water comes off, it can come to the cord prolapse. By the undertow power when the flowing out the fetus water and the gravity the cord comes at the os uteri to lie before the head of the child. The head of the child blames after, it squeezes the cord. The oxygen care of the child isn't ensured any more and it can die within shortest time.

Shoots which usually are in the sheath also can infect the fetal membranes and the child and become a danger for the child and the mother besides this dramatic complication.

The chances of survival for the child depend quite decisively at a premature bladder jump on the time of the pregnancy:
  • If he takes place before the 26th pregnancy week, the prognosis is bad for the fetus. If there are no infection and no premature labors, you wait. Mother and child are carefully supervised.
  • At a bladder jump between the 26th and 32nd pregnancy weeks the main risks are the cord prolapse and the sudden expulsion for the fetus. The pregnant woman permanently is watched in the clinic. It must be tried to avoid an infection. Perhaps you give with labor inhibiting medicines.
  • Until the 35th pregnancy week this one tries attending doctors, the birth at a bladder jump in the time of 33 as long as out hesitation, till the lung maturity is completed. If necessary, labor inhibiting medicines are ordered.
It is aim at a premature bladder jump to let the unborn as long as possible in the womb until his chances of survival have increased.
